Child Expense Split Calculator

Split childcare, medical, dental, and extracurricular expenses proportionate to each parent's income under s.7 of the Federal Child Support Guidelines.

🧮

Proportionate to Income

Unlike the base Table amount, s.7 expenses are typically split based on each parent's share of combined income — not 50/50.

🏫

What Counts as s.7

Childcare, medical/dental not covered by insurance, extracurricular activities, tutoring, and post-secondary education can all qualify.

💳

Net of Tax Benefits

Expenses are shared net of any tax deduction, credit, or subsidy the receiving parent gets — not the gross cost.

📋

Keep Your Receipts

Courts expect documented, reasonable expenses. Keep receipts and communicate with the other parent before incurring large s.7 costs.
